  1. Computer ignores shutdown blockers


    Hello, I have a few apps that used to save a few things like workspaces, open files etc, and I'd get a notification on my screen that "X app is preventing you from shutdown", or it would show a reason as to why shutdown is delayed, but recently this functionality does not work on my computer, I tried several apps like "Don't sleep" and "Shutdown blocker" but the computer just shuts down normally. I also developed an application that would delay shutdown in order to make an API call, but that app does not prevent restart/shutdown, although it did about 3 months ago, so something changed in Windows. Anyone has any idea as to why this is happening?

  2. Pop up blocker

    Hi,

    Pop-up blocker helps user to prevent pop-ups from displaying in a user's Web browser.

    Follow these steps to block pop-ups in Internet Explorer:

    • Open Internet Explorer.
    • Open the gear icon at the upper right of the Internet Explorer.
    • Select Internet Options.
    • Under Privacy tab, put a check mark on Turn on Pop-up Blocker.
    • Click OK.
    Follow these steps to block pop-ups in Microsoft Edge:

    • Open Microsoft Edge.
    • Open More (icon with three dots) and select Settings.
    • Click View advanced settings.
    • Turn Block pop-ups to On.
    Let us know how it goes.
